- Discovery of IACS-9439, a Potent, Exquisitely Selective, and Orally Bioavailable Inhibitor of CSF1R
-
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have a significant presence in the tumor stroma across multiple human malignancies and are believed to be beneficial to tumor growth. Targeting CSF1R has been proposed as a potential therapy to reduce TAMs, especially the protumor, immune-suppressive M2 TAMs. Additionally, the high expression of CSF1R on tumor cells has been associated with poor survival in certain cancers, suggesting tumor dependency and therefore a potential therapeutic target. The CSF1-CSF1R signaling pathway modulates the production, differentiation, and function of TAMs; however, the discovery of selective CSF1R inhibitors devoid of type III kinase activity has proven to be challenging. We discovered a potent, highly selective, and orally bioavailable CSF1R inhibitor, IACS-9439 (1). Treatment with 1 led to a dose-dependent reduction in macrophages, promoted macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype, and led to tumor growth inhibition in MC38 and PANC02 syngeneic tumor models.

- Continuous Flow Preparation of Enantiomerically Pure BINOL(s) by Acylative Kinetic Resolution
-
A polystyrene-immobilized isothiourea has been applied to the enantioselective acylative kinetic resolution (KR) of monoacylated BINOL(s) with inexpensive isobutyric anhydride in batch and flow. High selectivity values (s=29 at 0 °C) and a remarkable stability of the catalytic system in the operation conditions have been recorded for unsubstituted BINOL. No significant loss of activity/selectivity is recorded after 10 consecutive KR cycles in batch. A continuous flow process has been implemented and operated with a 100 mmol (32.8 g) sample of racemic monoacetylated BINOL in dichloromethane solution in an 84 hours experiment with a packed bed reactor containing 1 g (f=0.37 mmol.g?1) of the functional resin (s=17–21). Residence time can be decreased to 10 min with the same reactor to achieve a conversion of 58% with a selectivity factor s=17 when a more highly functionalized catalyst (f=0.88 mmol.g?1) is used. This translates into a remarkable combined productivity of 5.5 mmolprod ? mmolcat?1 ? h?1.

- Process for the preparation of luciferin compounds
-
The present invention provides a process for the preparation of compounds of the general formula: STR1 in which X is a hydroxyl group and X1 is a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group, and especially of luciferin, by the reaction of D-cysteine with 2-cyanomono- or -dihydroxybenzothiazole obtained from 2-chloromono- or -dimethoxybenzothiazole via a demethylation, wherein the demethylation is accomplished by reaction with iodotrimethylsilane or with a mixture of phenyltrimethylsilane and iodine and hydrolysis under mild conditions of the silyl derivative formed.
